Hi, my name is Liv and I’m the mummy of Archie.

Here is his story-

Archie was born on the 22nd Feb 2024, he had a severe heart condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

he underwent open heart surgery at just 4 days old on the 26th Feb which the operation was a success but had to come back to the ward chest open because he was puffy from bypass.

He was doing well as each day went on and was doing his chest up which would have been the 1st March. Come Thursday morning he was all good and the cardio team were happy with Archie’s recovery but Thursday evening is where it all change and my life paused.

I walked into ICU as I would and Archie was all fine, sats was great and doctor said he’s been great. The nurse was in the middle of doing his blood gases and from the moment the student nurse on with the nurse; she returned with the results and the nurse finishing putting the blood back into his artery, archie was dead. They proceeded to do CPR on him for 45 mins while the surgeons was seeing if it was anything to do with the surgery which they have stated it’s wasn’t. My life collapsed before me.

Moving forward, the surgeons requested the coroners to do the autopsy to find Archie’s cause of death which they took on immediately.

A few weeks into his autopsy we received a letter from the coroners office to state they couldn’t find a cause of natural death and has opened up an investigation to my sons death which led me to floods of tears that one mistake has taken my wee boys life.

There shouldn’t have been a mistake.

I’ve started this fundraiser after finally getting his forever plot to help me with getting his head stone and help towards the fees

Myself and the memory of Archie any donations will be appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
